I'm surprised that nobody has posted about today's game after the crazy ending. I wanted to go back and watch the replay of the final 4 minutes before commenting.

So Drexel is down by 15 at the under 4 timeout, down by 11 with 2 minutes left, and down by 6 with 1 minute left.

John gets elbowed in the face with 4 seconds left by Brantley. Refs don't see it, and then Brantley gets fouled. John pleads to the refs to check the monitor, which they do, and the replay shows that he was clearly hit in the face and the other JB gets an F-1. Since JB fouls out, he doesn't get to shoot the free throws, but his replacement in the game, Sam Miller, does get to shoot. Seems like we had a couple of flaws in the rules here. First of all, why would the replacement get to shoot the free throws? It seems to me that COC was rewarded for having a player foul out, as they easily could have brought in a 100% shooting walk on to shoot the free throws if they wanted to. Sam Miller, was 12-17 on the years, so he was a decent FT shooter, and he made both free throws. But the other issue is, why did the Drexel foul count in the first place? If the refs had seen John get punched in the face to being with, then the foul against Drexel would have never happened, and Drexel should have gotten 2 shots to tie the game and the ball.

Then at the final shot, you could argue that Riller fouled John on the final 3 point attempt. I've seen weaker circumstances where players got fouled.

Anyway, it is what it is, and for the 2nd time in 2 weeks, Drexel took a game where they were left for dead in the final 2 minutes and roared back and gave themselves a chance to win. COC is clearly a step above Drexel in terms of talent. They were even missing a starter, Harris who went home for a funeral. Drexel seemed completely outmatched until the almost miraculous comeback at the end.

Harper scored a career high 30 today. Drexel also shot 19 for 19 from the foul line.

Crowd today was listed at 1,175, and it was the complete opposite from Thursday, where the announced crowd was 917. Thursday, the general chairbacks were empty, but there was a very nice student crowd. Today, the student section was very disappointing, but the regular seating area was very crowded. Large crowd of COC fans today, who were here for an alumni event. The DAC was lively in the final minutes, but it could have been even louder if more student had showed up. But despite the loss, it was a fun afternoon at the DAC.
